Well I've been smoking cigars for a couple of years now and have never gotten a stick so plugged that it was unsmokeable. Until today.

I've had a 10th Anniversary Tat in the humidor for a while and have been really looking forward to it. I had planned to smoke it on my 13th wedding anniversary but didn't get around to it.

Tonight I needed a good smoke after a shitty week at work. Well it just got shittier (if that's a word).
The cigar is a smaller ring gauge so I give it a straight cut and fire it up. The draw is so tight I can't hardly get anything out of it. It's like getting a thick milkshake and trying to get a drink of it.

The foot is pouring off smoke like crazy but I could hardly get anything out of it.

I tried and tried to roll it around but it didn't seem to have any plugs that I could feel. I took my pipe tool and tried to clear anything out near the head, to no avail.

Finally, less than an inch in, I got pissed and threw it against the wall. Then I picked it up and cut it open. I couldn't find any plugs. It was just rolled so tightly it wouldn't allow any air through.

It sucks. I know Tatuaje is a good company. Anyone who makes a handmade product will have some bad ones every now and then.
The flavors I got were great.

Sorry, I had to rant. This is an anniversary edition that the B&M is out of so getting another is out of the question. Dammit.
